symp4thedevil's Movie Review of House ( Hausu )

The first time I saw this film was when I was in high school with a few friends at a local art house theater. I talked my friends into seeing this...and we immediately dumped "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and began our obsession with "House."

"House" I think can be best described like this: Imagine a giant watermelon. Being sold by an obese man. On the side of the road. In the "Wizard of Oz." A bunch of stereotypical school girls walk by. Nothing happens. Visit a crazy aunt in a haunted house. Get murdered in a musical, fantastically horrific, hallucinogenic atmosphere...that would make Agatha Christie grin.

There. That's it. It would best "Rocky Horror Picture Show" in a fight and would join the Mad Hatter for tea.
